Dasypyrum Breviaristatum Li et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2016) 9:6 DOI 10.1186/s13039-016-0217-0 RESEARCH Open Access Molecular cytogenetic characterization of Dasypyrum breviaristatum chromosomes in wheat background revealing the genomic divergence between Dasypyrum species Guangrong Li, Dan Gao, Hongjun Zhang, Jianbo Li, Hongjin Wang, Shixiao La, jiwei Ma and Zujun Yang* Abstract Background: The uncultivated species Dasypyrum breviaristatum carries novel diseases resistance and agronomically important genes of potential use for wheat improvement. The development of new wheat-D. breviaristatum derivatives lines with disease resistance provides an opportunity for the identification and localization of resistance genes on specific Dasypyrum chromosomes. The comparison of wheat-D. breviaristatum derivatives to the wheat-D. villosum derivatives enables to reveal the genomic divergence between D. breviaristatum and D. villosum. Results: Themitoticmetaphaseofthewheat-D. breviaristatum partial amphiploid TDH-2 and durum wheat -D. villosum amphiploid TDV-1 were studied using multicolor fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). We found that the distribution of FISH signals of telomeric, subtelomeric and centromeric regions on the D. breviaristatum chromosomes was different from those of D. villosum chromosomes by the probes of Oligo-pSc119.2, Oligo-pTa535, Oligo-(GAA)7 and Oligo-pHv62-1. A wheat line D2139, selected from a cross between wheat lines MY11 and TDH-2, was characterized by FISH and PCR-based molecular markers. FISH analysis demonstrated that D2139 contained 44 chromosomes including a pair of D. breviaristatum chromosomes which had originated from the partial amphiploid TDH-2. Molecular markers confirmed that the introduced D. breviaristatum chromosomes belonged to homoeologous group 7, indicating that D2139 was a 7Vb disomic addition line. The D2139 displayed high resistance to wheat stripe rust races at adult stage plant, which may be inherited from, D. breviaristatum chromosome 7Vb. Conclusion: The study present here revealed that the large divergence between D. breviaristatum and D. villosum with respected to the organization of different repetitive sequences. The identified wheat- D. breviaristatum chromosome addition line D2139 will be used to produce agronomically desirable germplasm for wheat breeding.

The transfer of agronomically useful genes from wild wheat species into cultivated wheat is one of the most effective approaches to improvement of wheat varieties. To evaluate the transfer of genes from Dasypyrum villosum into Triticum aestivum, wheat quality and disease resistance was evaluated in two new translocation lines, T1DL•1V#3S and T1DS•1V#3L. We examined the levels of stripe rust resistance and dough quality in the two lines, and identified and located the stripe rust resistant genes and high molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) genes Glu-V1 of D. villosum. Compared to the Chinese Spring (CS) variety, T1DL•1V#3S plants showed moderate resistance to moderate susceptibility to the stripe rust races CYR33 and Su11-4.

Abstract Total 16 α-gliadin gene sequences ranged from 1186 to 1316bp were isolated from Eremopyrum bonaepartis by PCR based strategy. Analysis of deduced amino acid sequences indicated that 8 of 16 sequences displayed the typical structure of α-gliadin genes with six cysteine residues, while the other 8 sequences contained in-frame stop codon, and were therefore pseudogenes. Phylogenetic analysis based on the variation of α-gliadin gene sequences indicated that the F genome of E. bonaepartis was apparently differed from the A, B and D genomes of wheat. Four peptides, Glia-α, Glia-α2, Glia-α9 and Glia-α20, which have been identified as T cell stimulatory epitopes in celiac disease (CD) patients through binding to HLA-DQ2/8, were searched to the E. bonaepartis α-gliadin gene sequences. We firstly found that only Glia-α existed in 7 of 8 full sequences, the fact suggesting that the occurrence of the stimulatory epitopes in α-gliadin genes was newly evolved in wheat.

Characteristics and origins of non-functional Pm21 alleles in Dasypyrum villosum and wheat genetic stocks Shanying Zhu1,2, Huagang He1* 1School of Food and Biological Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu 212013, China; 2School of Environment, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu 212013, China; Dr. Huagang He School of Food and Biological Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China Tel: +86-511-88780201 Fax: +86-511-88780201 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Most Dasypyrum villosum resources are highly resistant to wheat powdery mildew that carries Pm21 alleles. However, in the previous studies, four D. villosum lines (DvSus-1 ~ DvSus-4) and two wheat-D. villosum addition lines (DA6V#1 and DA6V#3) were reported to be susceptible to powdery mildew. In the present study, the characteristics of non-functional Pm21 alleles in the above resources were analyzed after Sanger sequencing. The results showed that loss-of-functions of Pm21 alleles Pm21-NF1 ~ Pm21-NF3 isolated from DvSus-1, DvSus-2/DvSus-3 and DvSus-4 were caused by two potential point mutations, a 1-bp deletion and a 1281-bp insertion, respectively. The non-functional Pm21 alleles in DA6V#1 and DA6V#3 were same to that in DvSus-4 and DvSus-2/DvSus-3, respectively, indicating that the susceptibilities of the two wheat genetic stocks came from their D. villosum donors.

(P.) Candargy and Triticum L. and Secale L. species was studied on the basis of ISSR markers. As a very polymorphic, effective and reproducible method, ISSR can be successfully employed to evaluate polymorphism between and inside different species. The polymorphic information content values (PIC) of ISSR method ranged from 0.57 to 0.87, with the mean value of 0.7. The genetic similarity of the forms analyzed ranged from 0.27 to 0.97, with the mean value of 0.47, indicating their high diversity. A higher similarity of Dasypyrum villosum to Triticum species, in comparison with Secale was found ñ the mean Dice genetic similarity index between genera was calculated at 0.40 for Dasypyrum and Triticum, and at 0.31 for Dasypyrum and Secale.

    Li et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:289 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5630-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Development of PCR markers specific to Dasypyrum villosum genome based on transcriptome data and their application in breeding Triticum aestivum-D. villosum#4 alien chromosome lines Shijin Li1,2†, Jing Wang1†, Kunyang Wang1, Jingnan Chen3, Ke Wang1, Lipu Du1, Zhongfu Ni2*, Zhishan Lin1,4* and Xingguo Ye1,4* Abstract Background: Dasypyrum villosum is an important wild species of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and harbors many desirable genes that can be used to improve various traits of wheat. Compared with other D. villosum accessions, D. villosum#4 still remains less studied. In particular, chromosomes of D. villosum#4 except 6V#4 have not been introduced into wheat by addition or substitution and translocation, which is an essential step to identify and apply the alien desired genes. RNA-seq technology can generate large amounts of transcriptome sequences and accelerate the development of chromosome-specific molecular markers and assisted selection of alien chromosome line. Results: We obtained the transcriptome of D. villosum#4 via a high-throughput sequencing technique, and then developed 76 markers specific to each chromosome arm of D. villosum#4 based on the bioinformatic analysis of the transcriptome data. The D. villosum#4 sequences containing the specific DNA markers were expected to be involved in different genes, among which most had functions in metabolic processes. Consequently, we mapped these newly developed molecular markers to the homologous chromosome of barley and obtained the chromosome localization of these markers on barley genome.

Nat. Croat., Vol. 19, No. 1, 179–203, 2010, Zagreb. The paper provides a list of 546 vascular plant taxa for which 855 new findings for the islands of the [ibenik archipelago (Kaprije, Krapanj, Murter, Obonjan, Prvi}, Zlarin and @irje) were recorded. Of the total number of new findings, 254 refer to 158 taxa which, in the area researched, grow either in cultivation or demonstrate the ability to subspontaneously spread out of the cultivated area. The pre- viously published records of Echium vulgare, Oxalis deppei and Vicia cracca for the islands of [ibenik archipelago are based on a misidentification and actually refer to E. plantagineum, O. articulata and Vicia villosa ssp. varia. Therefore, E. vulgare, O. deppei and V. cracca have to be cancelled from the list of vascular plants occurring on the islands of [ibenik archipelago but E. plantagineum, O. articulata and Vicia villosa ssp. varia have to be included. Key words: new findings of vascular plant taxa, [ibenik archipelago islands, Croatia Milovi}, M. & Pand`a, M.: Prilog vaskularnoj flori otoka {ibenskog arhipelaga (Dalmacija, Hrvatska).
